Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"The ability to check parameters for microservice applications is most valuable. It is important for me. I can manually create new business transactions for applications and individually monitor business transactions. I can also use a lot of extensions. It has a lot of extensions to monitor other third-party applications, such as NoSQL applications, memory cache applications, Kafka applications, and Couchbase applications. It is very useful. We are also using the end-user monitoring site to follow all end-user activities. It is important for us to check the errors on the customer site."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"The flow map is very valuable to us. Before we installed APM, we had no idea how our application looked."
"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"This solution is expensive."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
